Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The Organization has elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. However, under the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, indirect costs were not considered allowable costs; as such, only direct costs were charged to the grant during the year ended June 30, 2022. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Cabot Performing Arts Center, Inc. (the Organization) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Organization.

Finding Details

Finding 2022-001
Financial Policies and Procedures Update (Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Federal Major Program) Criteria: 2 CFR Section 200.303 requires federal award recipients to establish and maintain effective internal controls over those awards. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in ?Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government? issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the ?Internal Control Integrated Framework? issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission(COSO). Condition: During the year under audit, the Organization did not implement a financial policies and procedures manual that complied with Uniform Guidance documentation requirements under 2 CFR 200.303. Cause: The Organization has not created a financial policies and procedures manual to comply with the Uniform Guidance requirements under 2 CFR 300 and 2 CFR 400. Effect: Failure to update internal controls to comply with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance could result in ineffective monitoring of costs allocated to the federal program. Auditor?s Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen its internal control practices by formalizing its policies and procedures to comply with the Uniform Guidance.
